Whatever might be said about Ms Shepard, she’d NEVER physically (or even verbally) abuse her staff.

She IS going to be mad about those pins, though.

Also, it’s the time of year ago! We’re introducing the NEWEST members of the SpiderForest Comic Collective! Go check out the newbies’ stories, let ’em know what you think! And maybe say Emma sent you if you love ’em! I can tell you that I personally enjoyed ALL of these stories, but I’ll give a special shout-out to A Distant Sky, which has become a personal favorite!

We’re back! And just in time to celebrate the 8TH ANNIVERSARY OF KEY TO THE FUTURE’S FATE. God. How time flies. And I’m… maybe only like halfway done, probably not even… ho boy…

Comic updates are being halted until AUGUST 28TH (the (which’ll be the week of the 8th anniversary!) so I can refill the queue for the ending, so enjoy these FAN-ART PIECES in the meantime!

The pieces THIS WEEK come to us from my friend and fellow creator, Kaija! She’s the creator of The Quest of Casey Tailor, a story about a boy going after his kidnapped kid sister. Highly recommended for any lovers of Fae and fantasy! She was also a creator who got in to SpiderForest the same year as I did!

I ADORE her designs for the crew. They all look so soft and cartoony. The Quizard cosplay though, THAT is inspired and SO FUN. I honestly can’t believe I didn’t think of doing something like that first! There’s not a doubt in my mind that Luca actually has that outfit somewhere. And shout-out to the little Leon reaction in the bottom right. Legitimately an all-timer piece of KttFF art. Thank you, Kaija!

Comic updates are being halted until AUGUST 28TH (the (which’ll be the week of the 8th anniversary!) so I can refill the queue for the ending, so enjoy these FAN-ART PIECES in the meantime!

The piece this week comes to us from Macxi, the creator of another favorite webcomic of mine, SlumberTown! It’s a fascinating dreamscape featuring some of my absolute FAVORITE character writing of any story I’ve ever read. It’s a comic that’s OOZING with sincerity and love for the craft, and I can’t possibly recommend it enough!

Obviously this piece is a companion to the ending of my second chapter, and it’s ADORABLE. Absolutely the kind of line I would have included myself, and he did such a great job capturing the colors of that segment. The colors in SlumberTown were actually a big inspiration for some of the choices I made myself, so it fits! This is the perfect button on Chapter 2’s ending, and I’m incredibly grateful to Macxi for checking it out!
